Chu Lixue stood on the city tower and waited for a long time, but she couldn't hear the horn of victory over there, and her heart couldn't help but tighten.

I have to say that the perspective from the city tower is very good, looking at the dust raised in the distance and the sound of horses' hooves, Chu Lixue is already a little breathless. Could it be that the emperor and they were defeated? If this is the case, she can only exchange everyone's lives for King Jing.

Just thinking about it, he saw Shangguan Tianyu, Jiang Tian and Nangong Yihan, and the three of them rode back to this side, and the army behind them also followed them and ran back.

Seeing Nangong Yihan, Chu Lixue's hanging heart could finally fall, and then ordered someone to open the city gate to welcome everyone who returned triumphantly.

After Nangong Yihan and others entered the city, they saw Peng Shuijiang being escorted back, and looking at the appearance of the colors on his body, he must have lost very badly. And after King Jing saw Peng Shuijiang, he also looked incredulous, Peng Shuijiang had tens of thousands of troops, how could he be defeated by a few thousand people?

After Peng Shuijiang was escorted back, Nangong Yihan did not detain him, but immediately ascended to the court for interrogation, King Jing didn't know why, before Nangong Yihan interrogated, he couldn't wait to know the answer, "Commander Peng, how could you ......?"

"Hey...... Lord Wang, as soon as his subordinates and soldiers entered the valley, there were rolling wood and stones rolling down the mountain, killing and wounding many soldiers, and when those rolling wood and stones rolled down, they were still constantly firing arrows on the mountain, and then there was a fire attack, and we didn't even have the ability to counterattack, so we were defeated. Peng Shuijiang sighed helplessly.

"How so? You have tens of thousands of troops, can't you rush out? ”

"The emperor said that as long as they don't rebel, the previous things can be blamed for the past, and some of those soldiers were reluctant, but when they heard the emperor say this, they threw down their weapons at that time, and as a result, I and a few cronies were still resisting."

King Jing's plan failed, and he knew that he would definitely not end well, but he still wanted to gamble, gambling on the emperor's benevolence, he had just killed the Pingzhou Marquis family, if he killed him again, the emperor would definitely cause protests from the Nangong family, not to mention, he had also cultivated a lot of helpers in the court, and they would also intercede for themselves.

King Jing and Peng Shuijiang conspired against each other, such a major event, in Pingzhou, can only be a preliminary trial, and in the end, he will return to Yuncheng and hand it over to the three divisions for trial.

After such a thing, Nangong Yihan was not in the mood to stay in Pingzhou, and immediately prepared to drive back to the palace. But as soon as he returned to the palace, a palace maid came to report that the abolished Empress Dowager Bai was pregnant.

Although the Bai family is the abolished queen mother, Nangong Yihan still lets her live in the palace and live in the same courtyard with the concubines of the previous emperor. But I never thought that she was still pregnant? Who could this kid be? Could it be the guards? Probably not, these guards have been rigorously trained and screened.

Nangong Yihan originally wanted to cover up this matter, and then send an imperial doctor to give the Bai family a pair of fetal pills, who would have thought that this matter would reach the ears of the courtiers.

"Your Majesty, I heard that the abolished Empress Dowager Bai is pregnant, and she is also the heir of the royal family, I don't know if there is really such a thing?" Zhang Youqian, the head of the household, said respectfully.

"Zhang Shangshu, whether this matter is true or not, it is a matter of the inner palace, how did you know about it as a foreign minister? Didn't you put eyeliner in the palace and probe everything in the palace all the time? What are your intentions? Nangong Yihan said angrily.

Hearing this, Zhang Youqian was trembling, he just asked the question according to the meaning of the Taishi, why did he make the emperor angry? He still wants his head.

"Back to the emperor, Weichen just heard what people said, if the abolished Empress Dowager Bai is really pregnant, you must investigate clearly, otherwise it will spread to the people, and I don't know what it will become."

"This matter, I have already handed it over to the queen to investigate, so all Aiqing don't have to worry about it. What you should worry about is the society of the court and the affairs of the people. Nangong Yihan said angrily.

Although he has ascended the throne as emperor, there are still some previous tumors among these courtiers that have not been cleared. If it weren't for the foreign enemy watching, he would have started to clean it up a long time ago, where would he wait until now.

"The emperor's words are wrong, as we all know, the queen mother and the queen mother have always been not on good terms, the emperor handed over this matter to the queen to deal with, it is really inappropriate, what if the queen declares a personal vendetta?" Master Yan said in a deep voice.

Hearing Taishi Yan say this, Nangong Yihan's heart cleared, this Taishi Yan is really in the same group as King Jing, but this Taishi Yan has no sons, only three daughters under his knees, and two of them are already married, could it be that he wants to marry his youngest daughter to King Jing? According to his status, there is really no need for this.

"What? Is this how the Taishi views the main palace? Chu Lixue ordered someone to escort the Bai family to stand outside the gate of the court. Seeing this, Taishi Yan continued: "Queen Mother, the previous dynasty is a place for deliberations, the ancestor emperor has an order, and the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, could it be that the queen mother wants to leave a reputation of Si Chen in the pen of the historian?" ”

Hearing this, Chu Lixue raised her eyebrows, this Yan Taishi is really vicious, he actually slandered himself like this, Ji Ji Sichen? It's just sexist, you know, in modern society, there are many women who are hundreds of times stronger than men. Don't talk about it, let's just say that Beichen is far away from the sea in the west of the country, isn't it the heroine who is the emperor?

"Master Yan, do you think that this matter should not be handled by this palace? It just so happens that this palace also thinks that this matter should be brought to the court for trial, so that everyone can study and study it together. ”

Nangong Yihan watched all this silently, thinking that Chu Lixue did this in order to teach a lesson to those who were still planning to help King Jing. Thinking of this, Nangong Yihan ordered the eunuchs around him to summon Chu Lixue and the others into the court.

Bai Shi was escorted by Wanyue and Canxue to kneel on the ground, his long hair was blown on both sides of his shoulders, and his fair and emaciated face made people feel pity.

Master Yan looked at the Bai clan who was kneeling on the ground, and then arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, no matter what the Bai clan has done wrong, she is now a pregnant person, and a pregnant person cannot kneel for a long time." ”

"Bai's body is healthy, he can get pregnant at such an old age, this old clam is born and has pearls, God will definitely take care of it, and there will be nothing if he kneels for a while." Chu Lixue said lightly.

Bai heard Chu Lixue say that his old clam was born of pearls, and his lungs were about to explode when he landed, why was this Chu Lixue so damaged? She's pregnant, how can you treat her well?

"Your Majesty......" Taishi Yan still wanted to speak, but was frightened back by Nangong's cold eyes.

"Your Majesty, the concubine asked the emperor to try the case of Bai's pregnancy, Bai is the queen mother, and she has always lived in Jing'an Palace with the concubines of the first emperor. The concubine thought that this matter was related to the national system, and immediately brought the Bai family over. Chu Lixue said lightly.

"Your Majesty, since the queen has said that this matter will be handed over to you for trial, please treat the emperor fairly." Master Yan said with a warning in his tone.

"Uncle Ning, what do you think about this matter?" Nangong Yihan threw this hot potato out.

"Back to the emperor, in this Jing'an Palace, there will be no other men except the guards on guard, if you are pregnant, will it be an affair with the guards?" King Ning said softly.

How did the emperor ask himself about this? He was also wondering, this Bai clan was already a handful of years old, and he could still grow pearls, but it was difficult to say who the father of this child was. After all, there are so many guards.

"Your Majesty, the old body is pregnant, it is only the dream of the first emperor, if you kill the old body, it will kill the bloodline of the Nangong family." Bai said loudly.

What the? Is Xiandi Tuomeng pregnant? How is this possible? This Bai clan is too good at fooling. Hearing such an answer, all the ministers shook their heads, they didn't expect that this Bai clan would have such an affair when they were old, it was simply a shame for the royal family, okay?

Chu Lixue smiled faintly, the first emperor was pregnant, this Bai family can really make it up, who else will his adulterer be besides the king? Before going to Pingzhou, she had already arranged for Wanyue to investigate, and King Jing had a tryst with the Bai family through a secret passage.

also said that it was the bloodline of the Nangong family that was killed, but wasn't it the bloodline of the Nangong family? King Jing is also a member of the Nangong family. I have to say, this Bai is really good at talking.

"Xiandi Tuomeng is pregnant? Bai Shi, you are really shameless, and you dare to splash such dirty water on the first emperor. Chu Lixue said coldly.

"Queen, you are not an old body, how do you know if it was the first emperor who dreamed of making the old body pregnant." Bai's attitude was tough.

If the Bai family didn't rely on the fact that he had a child in his belly, how could he dare to talk to Chu Lixue like this. What's more, King Jing has already promised her that after this child is born, he will give everything to this child.

"This is easy to do, the Ling family is good at Zhu Youshu, as long as you invite the Ling Shaogu Lord to come, won't it be clear if you use Zhu Youshu?" Chu Lixue smiled lightly.

What the? Zhu Yushu? Master Yan was slightly stunned, why had he never heard of it, besides, what kind of Zhu Youshu was still known by their Ling family, who knew if they would cheat from it?

"Your Majesty, this Zhu Yushu is not credible, because except for Ling Shaogu Lord, no one else knows whether it is true or not, and the old minister opposes the queen's suggestion."

Hmph, sure enough, it's the Bai family, so quickly make excuses for her. Looking at the smug expression on Bai's face, Chu Lixue raised her eyebrows and said, "Since the Taishi is against it, then there is only the method of elimination." ”

"Exclusion? What does this mean? ”

"Since we can't determine the biological father of the child in Bai's womb, then we can only let the child in her womb recognize the blood of those guards one by one."

Hearing this, the Bai family took a long breath, what is so terrible about confessing to those guards with blood, this child is not theirs in the first place, so why should she be afraid.
